Default flusterd about something cross bones related




ok so i just bought my new 09 xbones. i love this F ing bike. i bought the passanger seat for it and backrest. when i picked it up i had my wife with me. so we get home and she has a look on her face like pain. and i was like oh great. as we do a lot of rideing. she asked if there was any way to make it more comfortable. i told her i didnt think so. so now i feal kind of bad as we do a **** ton of rideing togeather and i want her to enjoy it as much as i do. the only thing that keep going in my head is for 300 bucks less i could of bought a nice road king. (as i traded in my royal star tour deluxe. road king knock off) i dont have buyers remorse but seeing her about in tears (she has a bad back) relly mad me wonder if i made the right decision. are there better seats i can get just for when we ride two up??? what are you guys thoughts on this.???????

Swap the seat out she will be fine. Look into mustang seats. Everyone on here seem to love them. I am looking at the tripper solo for myself. I'm not sure how big of a PIA it is to get your seat on and off so you might want to look into a one piece 2 up seat you always have on.

are you reccomending just getting a mustang rear seat for her. that would be a good way to go.

Yes there are better seats... but is that the issue?
with a her bad back it could be the sissy bar...
I have heard many complaints from others that the sissy bar pad is too low and at the wrong angle...
